General Dynamics Mission Systems on Wednesday said it received a
contract with a potential value of almost $300 million to continue
work on fire control systems on submarines for the U.S. Navy and
the U.K. Royal Navy.
The company said the contract, which has a four-year term, is a
follow-on to a contract first awarded in 2015 "for the development,
production, installation and deployed-systems support of U.S. and
U.K. Trident II submarine strategic weapons systems and
subsystems."
Along with work on the fire control system for the U.S Navy's
Columbia class submarine and the Royal Navy's Dreadnought class
ballistic-missile submarine, the contract calls for work on the
development and sustainment of the U.S. Navy's Ohio-class
guided-missile submarine attack weapon control system, the company
said.
The company said the majority of work to support the contract
will take place in Massachusetts.
General Dynamics Mission Systems is a business unit of General
Dynamics Corp. (GD).
